For five decades, Topstar has been moving people in their everyday lives.

Discover more about the Topstar success story.
The world of work is in motion – and Topstar has been helping to move it since 1976. What began as a small chair factory has become one of Europe’s most innovative seating manufacturers. Discover the story behind it.
Modern, inspiring and reliable. Guided by these values, we have been developing innovative products under the Topstar brand for 50 years – products that in some cases have stood the test of time for decades and set benchmarks for the office chair and seating industry worldwide. With one of the broadest product ranges in our industry, we offer our retail partners in particular a level of service that is hard to find anywhere else.
AirWork
AirWork – the new lightness of sitting. Modern design, breathable mesh comfort and six striking colours for stylish workspaces.
Open Art 2010
Die Benchmark der Netzdrehstühle Anfang der 2000er und damit die Einführung einer neuen Technologie in die Produktion bei Topstar. Open Art war und ist bis heute die neue Art in modernen und offen gestalteten Büros dynamisch zu sitzen.
For decades, we have believed in the power of movement – for more freedom, individuality and personal growth. 3D active sitting becomes a natural part of everyday life: activating, strengthening and inspiring. For more energy. For people with style, attitude and the courage to embrace change. That’s why we created the Sitness brand in 2005 – and in 2022, it won the German Brand Award. Because movement means improvement. In every direction. In your own style.
New Work
– New Sitting
In a world that is constantly changing and increasingly shaped by technology and globalisation, the way we work is transforming. This calls for a redesign of the working world – because spaces are the engine of creative freedom. Discover the future of work: an agile, creative and dynamic working environment!
Sitness is tested and approved – by Aktion Gesunder Rücken (AGR), the German Campaign for Healthier Backs! Selected products have been tested by AGR and awarded the “Approved & Recommended” seal of quality. With our AGR-certified models, you can create the most important element of a healthy working environment. Our unique Sitness technology enables three-dimensional sitting. Freedom of movement in every direction promotes more active sitting, which unconsciously trains your back muscles and helps prevent back pain.
Sit, Move, Improve! This is the motto behind all our future Sitness products – led by our highlight product, the Sitness 4D, created by our Swiss designer and developer Thomas Walser. He has already designed numerous highly successful lifestyle products for the Sitness brand, getting hundreds of thousands of people moving while they sit with his extraordinary ideas.
His latest creation for Sitness is probably the most technically sophisticated product he has designed for us so far. Its smoothly engineered technology sets you in motion in every direction and adds a gentle vertical bounce – what we call the fourth dimension of active sitting.
Design that moves, movement that fits! When design and movement are in harmony, the result for us is a sense of well-being. In one short sentence, that sums up our top priority when developing the unique products of our WAGNER brand. Back in 1949, Moritz Wagner set the benchmark with his tavern chair. A style icon of the 1950s and 60s, it embodied design and well-being then – and still does today.
